Rune Corruption vs Inferno

I've been attempting to finish my fire beetles. I've got one that already has rune corruption, which causes a "reduction to a target’s damage resistances". Then there's the option of Inferno that "causes the creature to surround its targets with fire, causing a reduction to fire resistance and devastating fire damage."

Has anyone done any testing to see how much each ability will lower resistances? Any opinions on Inferno?

Inferno is not that devastating. Depends on the amount of Fire resist reduction vs RC.

Most people prefer Rune Corruption.

But if your not going to scroll it. Make one of each.

Went to Doom and inferno took a rotting corpse from 29 to 22 and another RC from 20 to 15. Went to Chaos and a balron went from 69 to 52. It took them down 24-25% in fire resist.

Rune Corruption vs balrons took them down from 74 to 37 and another 72 to 36 for a 50% drop!

So I guess my question now is, does RC/RC or RC/Inferno stack? Looking to best plan group pets.

Inferno seems to use as much mana as flame strike.

Inferno also does damage though, so if it's against a target with already low fire like a rotting, it's better.
